locking/barriers: Suppress sparse warnings in lockless_dereference()

After Peter's commit:

  331b6d8c ("locking/barriers: Validate lockless_dereference() is used on a pointer type")

... we get a lot of sparse warnings (one for every rcu_dereference, and more)
since the expression here is assigning to the wrong address space.

Instead of validating that 'p' is a pointer this way, instead make
it fail compilation when it's not by using sizeof(*(p)). This will
not cause any sparse warnings (tested, likely since the address
space is irrelevant for sizeof), and will fail compilation when
'p' isn't a pointer type.
